out OF nj line to write letters; but my
wife thought 1t was no more than right
that l should let you know what your
remedy has done for me. and l think
so too.
l live In East 18th street, west Of
Third avenue. and have lived there for
about tw%entythree years, where ! own

Oh us such attacks commonly do, with
headaches, loss of appetite and ambi.
ton. chilly sensations with slight fever
afterwards, a disposition to yawn and
stretch, and SO forth. l was employed
at that time at Killians & Brothers,
furniture manufacturers. in West SD
street. l hoped the attack would wear
of, but rs it didn't l consulted a we'll
known and able physician in Morris
ania, who gave me q inine and told me
w!at to do. can sum up the first four
and u half or five years OF my expert
ence in few words. Occasionally |
was laid up for II day or two, but on
the whole | stuck to my work. i kept
taking q%uinine. in larger doses from
year to year, and kept on getting weak
or and worse, slowly but surely, all the
TIME. My trouble was now well de-
fined and its symptoms were steady and
regilar. / had dumb ague in its worst
form, and 1t was grinding me down in
spite Of all that ! could do or the doc
tors could do. 1t held me in a grip like
ffc IN q burning cOdf mine. The poison
hai zone all through and wei me and
not,..,g was able to touch it. was
fast losing flesh and strength, and about
March, 1884, Knocked off work entire
" and went home 10 be down sick, and
to die for all | could toll. Iran down so
rapidly that / soon became unable to
walk any distance. Later l went from
room 20 room in my own house only by
friends holding me up by each arm. The
doses Of quinine were increased until l
often look thirty grains at a dose. The
effects Of this tremendous stimulation
was To make me nearly wild. 1t broke
my sleep all up. and l often walked the
floor, or staggered about it, all night
long. scarcely able to bear any noises
or even human speech. My temper
was extremely irritable. As to food,
one Of my little children would eat
more in n meal than l could in q day.
! would order food and then turn from
it in disgust. / lived on q~uinine and
other stilnulants and on myself, like a
bear in winter. The quinine set my
head in IL whirl, and the liquor-given
as n mcdicine--made my stomach so
sick could not tolerate II.
From l75 pounds (my proper wcight)
! ran down to ~ pounds-the weight
of n light girl-and was scarcely better
than II skeleton.
Uahybody had taken a Ratchet and
knocked me down and killed me I should
haze been better of.
During the latter part Of this period,
early in 1886, my physician said:
miller, there's no use in my taking
any more money Of you, / can't do you
any good. l might pour pounds of quiz
nine down your throat and it wouldn't
help YOU" 6ia
On the strength Of this ! gave up tho
use OF quininc altogether. and made up
my mind to do nothing more and take
my chances.
Three weeks afterwards--about the
last Of May-mN VIII" saw an advertise
ment of Kaskinc in 4 New York paper.
She told me Of IL, | said: "Stuff and
nonsense! it can't do me any good"
But she went to 4 druggists, neyerthe-
less, to get 1t. The druggist advised
her against KaSkine: he said It was
nothing but sugar; that she ought not
10 throw away her money on it, &c.
He said he didn't keep 1t, but could get
it II she insisted on having it. Turn
ing away in disgust my wife spoke to
our n~eighbor, Mr.. A. G. Hcgcwald,
who got her Il bottle ut u drug store in
Sixth avcnu
Almost against my will, and without
the least faith, | BEGAN taking it. In
one week | was better. l began to
sleep. l stopped seeing ghosts" I
began to have nm appetite and to gain
strength. This was now the first of
juno, 1886, and by the end Of thnt
month | was back Mt my bench Mt G. p.
Smiths scroll saving factory in 10th
street. where l work now.
Since then ] luavr never lost n day
from sickness. Taking Kask;ne only,
about forty pellets in four equal doses
q day, l continued to gain. The ma
laria appeared % bo killed in my sys-
TEN, and 10Y I've got back my old
weight-l75 pomds-mnd my old
strength TO labor. | am mr. astonish-
.mcnt to myself and to my fr'rnis, and
II Kaskine did not do this ! iun't know
what did. The only greater Thing il
could do would hc to bring II dead man
to life. FREpERIcK A. MILLER,
